Scarlett
+ scarlet
I thought this was a great book and a wonderful continuation of Margaret Mitchell's story. I hadn't ever ready Gone With The Wind until right before I read this story, so I was reading them back-to-back and couldn't do it. I had to wait a few weeks, read a few other books between them, to really ...

+ Good Book + One of the best books in the Anne series!!
I am 13 years old, and have read all the Anne books. My grandfaher gave me a copy of Anne of Avonlea when I was little, but I didn't show the slightist bit of interest at the time. A few years later, I thought I'd pick it up. After I picked it up, my world would never be the same! I had become an ...

Magnificent Achievement
+ I felt compelled to review this... + Very long and very good
"Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the
Buonapartes. But I warn you, if you don't tell me that this means war,
if you still try to defend the infamies and horrors perpetrated by
that Antichrist--I really believe he is Antichrist--I will have
nothing more to do with ...
